We can't fix the NHS throwing cash at it, says Jeremy Hunt

We can't fix the NHS throwing cash at it, says Jeremy Hunt Jeremy Hunt admitted yesterday that throwing money at the NHS could fail and that his own plans to rescue the health service had resulted in ballooning costs for the taxpayer.

The Health Secretary said different parties had 'made the mistake too often' of trying to solve problems with a big injection of cash, but without a proper strategy for how it should be spent.

He acknowledged that he too had made the same error, and that his efforts to deal with the fallout of the Mid Staffordshire hospital scandal had resulted in costly agency nurses being used to plug gaps. The Daily Mail
